Perform a Battery Runtime Calibration


Calibrating the batteries keeps measurements like runtime and battery charge
accurate.
Schneider Electric recommends performing battery runtime calibration at startup,
when batteries are replaced, or when changes are made to the battery cabinets.

NOTICE
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• During a runtime calibration the batteries will be at a very low level and
therefore not capable of supporting your system load in case of a power
failure.
• Batteries will be discharged to 10% capacity and this will result in a low
battery runtime after the calibration. Allow a minimum of 8 hours for battery to
reach 90% of the capacity after the calibration.
• Repeated battery testing or calibration can affect the lifetime of the battery.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

To perform a test, the following conditions must be present:


• The batteries must be 100% charged.

14 990–2748J-001
Configuration 250/500 kW 400/480 V

• The load percentage must be at least 10% and must not change more than
20% during the test. Example: if the load is 40%, it must not vary more than +/-
8%.
• The bypass supply must be available.
• The UPS Mode must be Normal Operation.
• The System Mode must be On.

1. From the home screen on the display select UPS System > Configuration >
User Configuration > Battery Test Settings to access the Battery Test
Settings screen.

2. Tap Start to begin the battery runtime calibration. You can tap Cancel to stop
the calibration. The status of the runtime calibration is shown under Runtime
calibration status.

Set the Battery Self-Test Settings


To start a self-test:
• The battery must be more than 50% charged.
• The load percentage must be at least 10%.
• The runtime available must be more than 2 minutes.
• The bypass supply must be available.
• The UPS mode must be in normal operation or ECO mode.
• The System mode must be On or ECO mode.
The battery self-test simulates battery operation. If the utility/mains power fails
during the test, the test stops and the UPS supplies battery power.
The test detects any weak or inoperable battery cells.
The following criteria should be met to ensure that the test detects any weak
battery cells:
• The total discharge current to the load from both the positive and negative sides
of the batteries needs to be at least half of the rated battery Ah. For example, if
you have 18 Ah of batteries, more than 9 A must be drawn by the load from
each battery side.

990–2748J-001 15
250/500 kW 400/480 V Configuration

• Both the positive and negative battery voltage must be lower than 280 V for
longer than 16 seconds.
The test lasts for approximately 10% of the available runtime.
NOTE: The test will discharge all batteries by 10%.

1. From the home screen on the display select UPS System > Configuration >
User Configuration > Battery Test Settings to access the Battery Test
Settings screen.

2. Set the battery test settings

Battery Module Replacement


Replacement Requirements

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
• Battery circuit breakers must be installed according to the specifications and
requirements as defined by Schneider Electric.
• Servicing of batteries must only be performed or supervised by qualified
personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep
unqualified personnel away from batteries.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they can explode.
• Do not open, alter, or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the
skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Batteries can present a risk of electric shock and high short-circuit current. The
following precautions must be observed when working on batteries
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear protective glasses, gloves and boots.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• When replacing batteries, always replace with the same type and number of
batteries or battery packs.
• Wait until the system is ready to be powered up before installing batteries in
the system. The time duration from battery installation until the UPS system
is powered up must not exceed 72 hours or 3 days.
• Batteries must not be stored more than six months due to the requirement of
recharging. If the UPS system remains de-energized for a long period, we
recommend that you energize the UPS system for a period of 24 hours at
least once every month. This charges the batteries, thus avoiding irreversible
damage.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

NOTE: The batteries must only be replaced with Schneider Electric high
performance battery units.
Schneider Electric recommends that the entire battery module (one row of
batteries) is replaced at the same time to ensure optimal runtime (see Example 1).
However it may only be necessary to replace three battery units at the same time
according to examples 2 and 3 in the table below. The concept below also applies
to batteries from different manufacturers.
